Right at the center of the Yuan Kong Realm, the heaven and earth essence Qi began to surge violently, as if drawn by something, gradually and slowly gathering into shape.

This change was perceptible to all martial artists within the Yuan Kong Realm.

A total of nine people entered the Yuan Kong Realm this time, three of whom had already perished, all with more or less connection to Chen Yuan. He suspected that perhaps others had also fallen.

Glancing at the changes in the void, Ming He said:

"It will take about half an hour for the path to open."

"May I ask where Senior Ming He cultivates in the immortal mountains? Or from which power do you hail?" Chen Yuan asked.

Ming He smiled faintly: "This old man is a free cultivator. As for cultivation, the old man has left traces all over the world."

"No wonder Senior is so knowledgeable."

"Regarding the cultivation of the physical body, you only need to go to Qingzhou City to find out. However, this old man must advise you that physical cultivation can indeed increase combat power significantly,

But in terms of lifespan, it is far inferior to Qi refinement. This is one of the reasons why Qi refinement is the most widely practiced in the world today."

Ming He tapped the ground lightly with his cane.

"Chen understands."

He did value the strength brought by the physical body, but ultimately Qi refinement was more important, not least for the reason Ming He mentioned: lifespan.

Ask the world, who doesn't want to live forever?

Chen Yuan's eagerness for strength and cultivation was driven on the one hand by a desire for power and status, the thrill of being above everyone else, and on the other by a desire to see if this terrifying world could grant him longevity.

The allure of 'longevity' is unparalleled.

Like immortals and gods, eternal life!

After chatting for a few words, Chen Yuan stopped talking. Ming He, for his part, said nothing more, but leaned on his snake-headed cane, quietly watching the changes in the void.

As time passed, the heaven and earth essence Qi gathered in the void increased.

The black-robed saintess also approached them, but they did not speak to each other. Ming He, however, stared at her a few times, seemingly finding her somewhat familiar.

There were no grudges between them now, and they were wary of each other's strength. If it wasn't necessary, it would be difficult to fight at this juncture.

Before long, another person arrived, the ordinary-looking young man who had been hiding in the crowd, carrying a long sword on his back. Seeing the gazes of the others turn to him,

He frowned, took a few steps back, seemingly unwilling to provoke anyone.

And the white-haired old Daoist who had shown great power from the beginning never appeared. Currently, there were only five of them. Chen Yuan pondered briefly and thought that the old Daoist should have already perished in the Yuan Kong Realm.

He didn't know who did it. That old fellow was in the late Tong Xuan stage, a powerhouse of the Celestial Palace realm.

Although suspicious, Chen Yuan did not reveal it. After all, it had nothing to do with him. In comparison, more people had died at his hands.

After a while, the portal in the void finally condensed, identical to the beginning. The hunched old man tapped his cane lightly, and his figure transformed, already arriving before the portal.

Then, he stepped in.

Chen Yuan did not hesitate, nodded to Huang Yi, and the two of them walked towards the exit together. The Yuan Kong tokens in their hands were almost completely dissolving.

Stepping out of the Yuan Kong Secret Realm, the scene outside was the same as before, with most of the onlookers and Jianghu martial artists having dispersed, but there were still nearly a thousand people guarding nearby.

Among them, there were seven Tong Xuan experts watching them vigilantly. Obviously, after three days of fermentation, several more experts had been attracted to pick the fruit.

The hunched old man, Chen Yuan, Huang Yi, the black-robed saintess, and the last ordinary-looking man, a total of five people, walked out of the Yuan Kong Realm and exchanged glances with the seven.

The hunched old man no longer concealed himself, and a terrifying aura erupted, the aura of the peak Tong Xuan stage, causing the seven to look somewhat frightened, not daring to act rashly.

Ming He glanced at Chen Yuan and said indifferently:

"We will meet again, Inspector Chen. We will see each other again."

"Farewell, Senior Ming He."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands.

Ming He nodded and left into the air without anyone stopping him, obviously knowing how powerful a peak Tong Xuan expert was.

After Ming He left, the Yuan Kong Realm portal in the void also began to slowly dissipate, and the Yuan Kong token in his hand also dissolved, waiting for the next opening of the Yuan Kong Realm.

The seven exchanged glances. A refined middle-aged man in a long blue robe stepped forward and said to Huang Yi and Chen Yuan:

"Brother Huang, I heard that there are many rare and exotic herbs in the Yuan Kong Realm that are of great use to martial arts cultivation. I am willing to exchange some with Yuan Crystals. I hope you will agree."

His tone seemed polite, but he seemed to be threatening, relying on the people behind him.

"Who is he?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently.

Huang Yi: "This person is not from Jiuyuan Prefecture, but an elder from a first-class power in the nearby Dongping Prefecture, called..."

However, before he could say the person's name, he was interrupted directly by Chen Yuan, who coldly said to the middle-aged man:

"What are you? How dare you threaten me."

He dared to kill the core disciples of the Guangming Temple and the Qingyun Sword Sect, let alone an elder of a first-class power.

The middle-aged man was somewhat angered by these impolite words, and his face changed slightly:

"Presumably, you are the Demon Blade Lord Chen on the Hidden Dragon List?"

"So what?"

"I don't want to force you, but you have obtained many treasures in the Yuan Kong Realm. Can't you let us exchange some? We have been waiting for several days,

Lord Chen, it's better not to be unreasonable."

His voice was mixed with a hint of coldness, and the threat was self-evident. He was unwilling to confront the Sky Patrol Department openly, but his cultivation had reached a bottleneck.

He had to find some spiritual herbs that matched his Kung Fu to assist him.

When the news of the opening of the Yuan Kong Realm reached his ears, he rushed over as fast as he could, but he was still one step late, but he was not without other methods.

The people behind him were all backbones of a power or the heads of sects, and their power radiated across several prefectures. So-called law does not blame the public. As long as they joined forces, even if it was a bit too much, it wouldn't be anything.

Like his Dongping Prefecture, even the Sky Patrol Department and the government had to give them some face. This was the power of a first-class power.

Chen Yuan stared at him:

"What if I don't exchange?"

"I advise Lord Chen to exchange. Don't worry, we will never let you suffer a loss. In addition, I have actually heard of Lord Chen's reputation for a long time and want to make friends."

The refined man smiled faintly.

Huang Yi shouted in a low voice: "Presumptuous, how dare you threaten a court official!"

The black-robed saintess sneered, but did not say much, seemingly wanting to see Chen Yuan's response first. The green-shirted man next to him frowned slightly,

He had already made preparations to fight his way out in secret.

Chen Yuan stepped out, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted. His Qi and blood surged, like a roaring beast awakening. The Qi and blood around him converged at one point.

He shouted sharply:

"With your status, are you worthy to be friends with me?"

The next moment, an extremely terrifying fist force suddenly erupted, the blood Qi and Astral Qi perfectly combined, the void shook, and in a flash of lightning, the middle-aged man almost did not react.

He seemed not to have expected that the other party would really dare to attack without hesitation, and quickly propped up his protective Astral Qi to resist.

It was a pity that he was still one step weaker.

Although Chen Yuan's strength was considered strong before, he still needed a few breaths to deal with martial artists of the same realm. Facing martial artists of the late Tong Xuan stage, he needed to fight fiercely to determine the outcome.

But now, his physical body had entered a new realm, coupled with his mid-Tong Xuan stage Qi refining cultivation, he was invincible without Celestial Palace realm experts.

"Boom!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the middle-aged man was directly blasted into a cloud of blood mist by Chen Yuan's full-force punch.

In an instant, blood rain fell, leaving no limbs or arms.

Silence.

Within a radius of several thousand meters, in front of nearly a thousand people, blasting a high-ranking Tong Xuan expert to death with one punch was enough to shock everyone. In front of Chen Yuan,

The middle-aged man in the mid-Tong Xuan stage was like an ant on the side of the road that could be crushed to death at any time.

Everyone looked at Chen Yuan with horror on their faces, shocked by his strength. It was well known that the top 50 geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List were very strong, but no matter how strong there was a limit.

But what about Chen Yuan?

A martial artist in the same realm was killed with one punch.

What did this mean?

It meant that they were not on the same level. Chen Yuan was much stronger than the middle-aged man.

Huang Yi took a deep breath and remained silent.

The black-robed saintess did not show any surprise on her face. With a physical body with the blood Qi of a dragon, coupled with her strong cultivation, it was not surprising that she had such strength.

Because she knew that a genius in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List was like this. Martial artists in the same realm were mostly vulnerable in front of him.

A solemn look flashed across the face of the ordinary-looking man in green shirt. He felt a deep sense of danger from Chen Yuan, even stronger than when he faced the white-haired old Daoist!

The Hidden Dragon List geniuses were indeed well-deserved.

Yue Shan and the others below were excited, as if they were the ones who had hammered the person to death with one punch.

Chen Yuan slowly retracted his right fist, glanced indifferently at the man who had been blasted into blood mist, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, his gaze swept over the six people in front of him one by one:

"Is there anyone else who wants to be friends with Chen?"

The plain voice was not loud, but it was filled with an extremely powerful self-confidence, as if he did not take the six people in front of him seriously. No... not as if, he really did not take these people seriously.

It was not directed at anyone, but each of them was just a piece of trash that was vulnerable to him.

Even looking at everyone nearby, the only ones who could make him look up to them were the departing Ming He and the black-robed woman behind him.
